Check CDW, etc for the battery. They may have an after-market replacement for perhaps $250. Then decide, but I'd definitely NOT chuck the UPS! -- richard

APC wants $350 for a replacement battery. Should I just chuck the whole thing and get a whole new UPS or should I buy an APC battery or an after market battery? I *am* somewhat in a hurry, but I'll at least wait a few hours before pulling the trigger on anything. :-) -- Thanks, John Aldrich Blueridge Industries IT Manager ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
